Hit Undercarriage while going over dip now I hear scrapping noise

I recently went over a dip, I could not stop fast enough, to avoid the scrape. I have a crx it's been lowered, I now hear scraping sounds but, I don't think its the tirescrapping, because I checked and I dont hear it when Im going straight mostly when turning and at low speeds. Is it from the suspension or somewhere else. I can easily push down on the right front suspension.

Dear Kathrynn
If the suspension is shot you should perhaps be walking away from this bargain. Or if you are really keen at least consider getting it looked over by a professional - after all it is only five years old.

Accelleration noises of the magnitude you descibe makes me think the engines crank shaft bearings have gone. Has the oil pressure light come on recently and what's the oil level like.Without being there to hear it, it's very difficult to diagnose. You should detect noises and rattle if you rev it when in neutral if it is the engine. If the engine is smooth in neutral and the oil is good you may have a bad diff or cv joint

YOU BETTER GET TO A BRAKE SHOP AND FAST, SOUNDS LIKE YOUR REAR BEARINGS OR TIE RODS ARE GONE AND YOUR PADS ARE WORN DONE SO BADLY THERE IS METAL TO METAL CONTACT. YOU BACK WHEEL COULD FALL OFF. VERY, VERY DANGEROUS.

You have wear sensors on the pads that warn you that your pads are about to be down to the metal-they only 'scrape' the rotors when they are close enough to the rotors when you are not applying the brakes. Replace the pads soon to avoid haveing to replace the rotors.

HI, It sounds like you have an intermitent ABS fault and wile you are driveing the light go's off and when you hit your brake's you hear and feel a rough scraping niose.If so it's from when the ABS resets. Chances are a wheel bearing is causing the intermitent code.If i'm misunderstanding what you are saying please comment back for clarification.Hope this helps you,if so please rate it. Thank You for useing fixya........ iluv2fish......Ray.....

About the only thing you could damage as a result of going over a curb resulting in coolant loss would be damage to the bottom of the radiator...This radiator has plastic side tanks which are susceptible to damage...The real damage may be related to any under car crossmembers which may have to be straightend or replaced...Also check for any damage to AC condenser which is located in front of radiator...One simple way to check that is to see if AC is working now provided that it workrd before incident with curb

1st thing to check is when you put in gear when cold and again when hot Take off fast ,,the noise if there igoes up and down with the speed and rpm ,,the noise you can hear mostly is the pump in side the gear box is not pushing enough pressure to the Forward Band clutch which drives the car so it has to slip and that is what you can smell the clutch bands burning And the more you can smell it the worse its getting and soon will let you down in a place you dont want to be..
So get it checked out new or as soon as poss
The A/Con clutch also sounds like its worn out.

Get hold of the shop that did the clutch a.s.a.p. It may be flywheel hitting on something, or may only be shield installed improperly or something similar. Don't drive it anymore than you have to & go easy on throttle until they look at it.
